There would be exemptions for cyclists, emergency service vehicles, vehicles displaying a blue badge and also any vehicle accessing an off-street car parking area directly adjacent to the affected roads.

The proposed ban comes after previous work with city centre groups with the aim make the streets a safer more welcoming environment.
